Be itknown that I, FRIEDRICH ZrnGEN-- edfcertainnew and useful Improvements in' Projectiles, of which the following is a speciication; The resent invention relates to a `prothe projectile-"bod l by means ofa bushing, and the. object of.t einv'ention is to form the bushin the h o'low space of the rojectil serving to receive vthe hlling shot ecomes as great 'as possible.' -In accordance with the present;

lnvelition, this object is attained byvproviding the. bushing with a trunnion `extending toward' the projectile point and'by providg thefuse with a recess for receiving the trunnion. v

. In the accompanying drawings, Figure leis i an axial'longitudinal section ofi one embodi- 4ment of a projectile constructed according' 25' `to the'invention, and Fig. 2 shows a signilar view of a projectile of the same type of the construction hitherto usted.

Reference will irst behad tothe projectile v showi'in 1. The projectile 1s formed as a shra T e bushing A1 is screwed into the projectile-body A,- wln'ch contains the filling' Shot B.' The bushing is provided with a central hollow trunnion a2 which extends to- Ward the projectile-point and is .prbvided with` xteriorthreads engaging i'n-aj threaded bore clin the burning fuse C. The hollow space yo f vthe trunnion e2 .contains thefulminating `charge c2 of the burning f use. Through thennedium of a bore ag'provided in the wall of the hollow trunnion a2, thev fulminating charge' c2' communicates with the fulminating channel c4 which is provided in thebase c3 of the burning fuse.`

TheL` rojectile shown `in 2 mainly differsrom the projectilejust described' 1n having 'the'base c3 of its burning fuse p rovided-With an exteriorlythreaded trunnion 'Specification' of Letters Patent.A

Inthe fuse projects farther into the hollow s ace of A the rojectile than does the fase of t e. prog' ject e according to Fig. 1, as the trunnion c lnFig. 2, .which extends toward the base ofi Patented Aug. 24", 190:9.

the projectile, must be of comparativelyl great length' in order tov provide a. reliable Iconnection'between the fuse and the bushing A1. The projectile according to Fig. 1 can,

therefore, hold a greater number'of 4ll-ing shot than the. p rojectilesof the construction and it, therefore, valso gives' a Having thus described theinvention, what' claimed and desired 4to be secured by -Let ters Patent is 1. 'A projectile having projectile body, a

fuse'provided with a recess, and a bushing for securing-the fuse to the'bo'dy, said bushing having a trunnion extending toward'the point and engaging in the recess of the fuse.- Y

2. A projectile having aprojectile body, a

'fuse provided with a recess, and a bushing for securing the fuse to the body, said bushing having a trunnion extending toward the projectile point and engaging inthe recess of the fuse, said trunnion being hollow and containing part of the fuse.

'3. A'projectile formed as a shrapnel and having a rojectile-body, a burning fuse provided witha recess, and a bushing for securing the fuse to the body, said bushing having a hollow .trunnion extending toward the roje'ctile point and engaging in the recess o the fuse ;4 said trunnion containing the fulminatin charge of the burning fuse.
